I ... on to Washington both sides of politics seem to be girding for a budget battles in the coming days ... a week just the remarks this morning from both the president ... and the majority leader in the house Eric Cantor have a listen ... what we now have is the ideological ... fight it's been mounted ... in the House of Representatives that says ... we're not going to pass a budget and we will threaten a government shutdown ... alas we repeal ... the Affordable Care ... O plan ... to extend our nation's ability to borrow ... while delay Obamacare ... they're protecting working middle class families ... from its her riffic of facts ... welcome back to Opinion Journal I'm Mary Kissel at that Fox these commentator and author Monica Crowley here to talk about this budget battle we just heard like that ... there doesn't seem to be a lot of room for compromise on either side the president says ... he's never been to defund Obamacare is not to negotiate ... and it uses morning we saw on the House GOP say ... we're going to try and defund Obamacare ... to funding government that was our government shut down here we go again re any we've seen this pattern over the last several years where ... both sides week until the last minute and then everybody in Washington runs around with their hair on fire as the American people are wondering where's the budget why can't we have any kind of this fiscal discipline or responsibility ... so here we go again the difference this time Mary ... is that what you saw this morning the presence of look I have no intention of negotiating ... Yet Eric Cantor inviting the president to come to the table to negotiate what we've seen the pattern with this president is that he doesn't ... negotiate he doesn't consult with Congress even members of his own party ... he doesn't tend to build coalitions in really working consulting compromise to negotiate he doesn't do that ... I don't think he's going to change this time around oh what this different ... is Obamacare ... Obamacare is Diq's dynamic in this budget process ... and is complete into those size politics is present will never give out twenty inch on Obamacare he's done waivers he's done exemption ceased and the employer mandate in weak that for year two piece chipped away at it but he's never been let the whole thing go because that's the signature of this ... the completely again ... suggested that the Republicans don't own Congress they only control one house right and they did have leverage called the sequester ... into the pain ... to keep these government funding cuts going to think the stock to gather ... the present with had succumbed to the I'm so ... you how you view the situation that new box themselves in Republican sticking together Mary that the app then out to be a real numbers at the numbers look pricey but the Republicans right now it is to try to stay can stick around to Obamacare when some new polling this week showing increasingly the American people peak the Standard ... almost two-thirds won every killed either in total or in part to the Republicans have the American people but come on on their side effect Rasmussen yesterday ... released a poll showing fifty one percent of Americans ... actually prefer to see a government shutdown it will stop the funding for cus menacing a government shutdown when her Republican here's what I'm saying the letters ban saying ... it entree is coming out of the house just a couple of days ago put a piece of legislation in front of Congress to look like a merry can target a move on it what it says as we fully intend to find every other facet of the government except for Obamacare ... if they go head to vote for that vote on that in the house it passes the house then it goes to the Senate agreed the real game is what Republicans Republicans can win this fight politically ... they have the American people on this site but they have to win Mary is messaging and I'm very little faith really doubt as to when the message even on the buying on the editorial pages if if the Republicans adjusts and ... let's continue the funding government with the sequester cuts ... they pass it be thrown at the center the cynic and that's what that that now what they're doing is are singer is not a ... prude player in ... tax increases whatever you like into this bill all the top ... and the indifferent that somehow I'll tell ya I agree with with that mostly windy Obamacare battle is the battle to have because to socialize medicine and well blowout in free on their part in the economy we can talk about tax reform until we're blue in the face that will not ... know they'll be no movement on any of these things if Obamacare goes forward the funding it is literally ... politically in the battle that the Republicans should fight and back until they should dine on ... but also remember that it has huge implications for this economy if it is allowed to go forward in what ever for men I know some of my fellow conservatism the editorial page ... let it go forward with the disaster had been ... hanging on the necks of the Democrats next year into the art seen it ... yet and I understand that argument ... but once it goes forward and the benefits start flowing and attacks start going you will never be answered repeal it trades at a bad sign the bill that the funding a government shutdown ... that the Republicans as it was is my point about messaging Republicans have to get their act together to make sure the public knows that if there is a partial government shutdown it's not the Republican spot they passed a bill to fund every other part of the U S government except for the thing that Americans love it which is Obamacare like it's a wager that the president is willing to take based on its contents it's not every member his presidency has been weekends in large part because of his mishandling of Syria flooded Democrats New York Times today has front page story about the Democrats are very frustrating not willing to toe the line for him that much anymore right so he's going into these budget battles weekend on his own flight okay well so please both sides of the argument that Fox these commentator and author Monica Crowley thank you so much my pleasure ...
